Cap affect of paying as you go vs pushing out and having dead space

[run pMc]

You're demonstrating my point. The Chargers decided they needed to do those things rather than kick the can down the road (unless you assume Ekeler and Allen weren't worth keeping.

LOL. The Chargers DID kick the can down the road and continue to do so, AND they had to let talent go because of it. They were in cap hell.

So, basically... you don't know. You're just arguing for the sake of arguing, because you like to find things to disagree with people about so you can shout at them.

Yeah pretty much seems that way.

Frozen, read the news. There are players cut or not signed or traded cheap, etc. past and present. The most recent one I can think of is Keenan Allen. Beyond that, you're on your own. And you want a common thread? How about not having very good teams?

Oh sure. NOW you want others to read the media pukes.

It will be interesting to see how the Packers play the cap now. They had been paying up front before Covid. The Covid year messed up that strategy

Buffalo only has 20 of the 53 players that suited up for their Jan playoff game still on the roster.

Just think about that for minute.

That's a good and funny response.

Doesn't matter. They were clearing roster spots so they could kick that cap down the road and sign every stud FA available because the cap isn't real, and the money multiplier theory means every team can sign every FA, its just that Gutes is a prick and doesn't want to win.

Stefon Diggs eating up $31M, meanwhile all of GB's receivers costing $11M.

Buffalo is near the top with $55M is dead money with an ugly Von Miller contract still on the books but are not the only one. In 2024 it is a combined $801M for all 32 teams with the average being around $25M. The Vikings lead the way with $57M in dead money with the Rams at the other end with only $4M. Getting players on rookie contracts that can contribute early is the key to success.

Yeah, Buffalo until recently was a good example - cap be damned, keeping their talented players. I knew about Diggs, but I wasn't aware of the "just 20 of 53" thing. They now have apparently joined the ranks of the stupid - reacting to the perceived cap problems and getting rid of good players. We'll see how long they stay near the top.

I'm extremely thankful for the Packers situation - all our excellent young receivers for a fraction of Diggs' cost, but the fact is (or seems) that Diggs is still damn good, and they probably could have restructured him to get his cap number way down. Oh well, my third favorite team benefits from the Bills turn toward stupidity. I heard Josh Allen is now asking for a trade hahahaha.

Fritz and Sharpe, I read the shit from media pukes all the time. I just don't believe it like most of ya'all. Like blind squirrels, every now and then they get something right, and even when they don't, it's kinda fun to read their stupidity. Honestly, most of the posters in here, even the ones I disagree with, have a better percentage of being on the right side of things than those media assholes.

I think you can throw the entire TE room in for a few million as well.

Wilson actually had a pretty good year last year. Much better than 2022. He and Sean Payton just didn't get along.

He was okay, but not worth near what he was being paid, let alone his ego and quackery.

[Fritz]

Seems like both Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers want to wear wizard robes and chant spells in incense-filled rooms.

Coupla crazy fuckers.

[smuggler]

Difference is, Rodgers happened to be right in some cases, even if he just lucked into it. Russ drinks special brain water to help him heal from brain injury, but somehow he still talks like someone just clubbed him with a hammer when he speaks after games.
